There’s no shortage of steakhouses in this area of the city so it can be a little hard working out which one to pick. We were in a bit of a rush so gambled with here but I’m not entirely sure I would return. Despite being very full with fellow diners it was surprisingly quiet. The addition of some background music would be nice to create a bit of atmosphere. Despite this though it was still a relaxing setting and the decor was alright, although nothing special to stand out from the other options. Although the table appeared clean enough the toilets were truly disgusting and felt like they hadn’t had any attention since opening in the morning; quite disgusting really.
The menu was pretty extensive and whether you’re looking for steak, pasta or even pizza there should be something to suit everyone. The staff aren’t the most chatty and from the start it did feel like a rushed operation. The mushroom soup starter arrived within just a few moments from ordering, which was a surprise, but it was actually really tasty. A bread roll was also provided and the portion size was great. For the main I opted for a tomato and chilli penne pasta. This was less impressive and lacked any substantial flavour. There was no options for cheese on the top and the presentation was rather basic. Again though the portion size was good. The quality felt alright but it’s certainly not homemade ingredients here.
Plates were cleared away as rapidly as the orders were taken and at least there’s enough people working to always be on hand when you need them. The final price didn’t feel the best value for money and it’s clearly more geared towards tourists than true foodies. The way in which the bill was presented was a sour end as a massive point was made about the need to leave a tip. The staff certainly rush around, which is commendable, but it doesn’t result in the high level of personal service I’d expect to justify this approach and demand.
Overall if you’re looking for a more substantial meal but don’t have much time, it’s an acceptable choice. They’re clearly in the volume business, wanting to turn tables around as quickly as possible but for some this might work. Otherwise there are many other nicer...
Read moreEverything in this restaurant is terrible, might just be one of the worst meal ive had.
The attitude of the employees are disgustingly rude, when I told them there were problems with the food they just stormed next to us, took the plate with a long face, impatiently ask us 'you want anything?' didn't wait for any response, assume we don't speak english and stormed off.
The food is beyond terrible, we ordered 4 steaks and miraculously all of them were overcooked, the garlic butter that came with the sirloin is rock hard unlike how proper restaurants use melted clarified butter for steaks and fries.
When you think the drinks will be better, the only beer option on the menu is 'Beer', no brand, no nothing. I usually love beer but I couldnt even take a second sip of this unbranded mysterious wheat liquid that tastes more like piss than any edible beverage.
I am not sure if this is a norm in Europe, at least not in England. When I asked for tap water, I assume we would be provided free water, but instead they didn't say anything and charged us 2.75 for water.
The 4th point can be ignored just because I am not familiar with the rules and terms in Amsterdam, but this experience is more than enough for me to tell that this is a day light robbery...
Read moreI’ve never written a review in my life for any place as I never felt it was needed…until now.
I don’t even know where to begin. Me and my partner decided to settle down for dinner here as it looked like it had a cosy atmosphere from the outside. As soon as we walked in we were met with a rude attitude and were hurried along from the get go. We had been seated at a table that was right next to the main walkway along the entrance, immediately we wanted to leave but thought it was worth trying at least.
I decided on a sirloin steak with chips, and a beer. The steak and chips was bland and looked like something a recently divorced dad who lost his wife to her tennis coach and two kids that call the coach dad would cook for himself. The beer honest to god tasted as if they filled the pint glass a quarter of the way up and topped it off with sparkling water, absolutely vile.
This was meant to be my partners 21st birthday dinner and I feel as if I’ve let her down because of how bad this all was. It’s the first time I’ve actually felt robbed from a restaurant.
I would avoid this place at all costs unless you like feeling pressured to leave from the get go and enjoy food that lady and the tramp would eat off a McDonald’s bathroom floor on a...
